Looks like we were getting battered for the first half until scoring twice in the minutes before the break.
Lots of changes in the second half, so hard to know what to make of it overall. No lineups for either side that I can see.
Bohs 3-1 Shels
Rovers 4-0 Bray
Both this morning….
Bohs in their second game of the day 4 nil up at half time against Pats. Afolabi, Akintunde and Williams scoring a good few in pre-season so far.
Seen a video of Chris Forrester on crutches at a pre season game a couple of days ago,be a big blow for Pats if that’s serious….
Cork City 3-0 Treaty United
Tunde Owulabi (2) and Barry Coffey
Owulabi is a new one. Have seen Tundi, Owalabi, Awolabi and several other variations but that's a new one for me. Like the Bazunu/Bazuna misspelling it's wonderful.
Was actually 3-1, not sure how the FAI Connect app had it as 4.Quote:

Second half it was all U19 or LSL I think with healy in goal, didn't recognise any of them. Based on the first half, there is potential there but the new ones will face a steep learning curve. No sign of dylan duffy or Sam todd.

"Highlights" of Dundalk/Harps!!
Our goalscorers were Magesuran and Derek Daly.Quote:

Rovers just posted goals from yesterday's friendlies. Ian Ryan needs to find some defenders fast, those lads wouldn't get a kick in the LSL the way they defended yesterday. Webster wasn't playing, but Massey and Cole were playing, shambolic defending for all the goals. Ryan's achiles heel at Wexford was defending, a lot of work to do.
Derry City 6-0 Finn Harps in the Brandywell this afternoon
Dave Rogers will be quiet on twitter tonight!Quote:

That didn’t take long!!!Quote:

Agreed. Harps were awful, but it was probably a useful enough exercise all the same. Decent crowd there for a friendly, and Diallo's goal was some strike.Quote:

Playing FC Swift Hesperange, from Luxembourg, on 27th, with Ålborg on 29th.
I think this is the exact same spot Derry are staying in where Dundalk went 2 or 3 times under SK. One of the years Cork City also stayed same week, Brian Gartland has a good few pages about it in his book, entertaining stories !Quote:

Bohs v Harps Friday behind closed doors.....
Rumour of David McMillan on trial for Bray tonight?
Gonna be some battle between UCD and Drogs for 9th and 10th this season. UCD beaten by Bray 1-0 tonight, Drogs were drawing 0-0 with LSL team Glebe Utd late in the game
Not true i'm toldQuote:

Collingwood Cup coming next month, so that usually takes the place of our friendlies to a large extent. Playing University of Ulster on 13 Feb
Imagine if Drogs had been playing the whole of Glebe instead of just the North bitQuote:

After the most recent batch of departures, there were only 4 recognisable LOI names in the last college game where they got smacked by TUD (albeit missing Keaney and Todd that day) buts that's all they were missing. Thank God for Drogs, this year Harps hopefully.Quote:

There's also the LSC against Rovers next weekend, which may end up being a friendly for our players on both sides. I'm presuming we've a couple of signings coming in soon (a la Lonergan, Nolan, Duffy this time last season)
The signings I've heard about Stu are a centre mid who is from the northwest, name escapes me, a striker from Bohs U19s called Divine Izakur, Adam Wells from Wexford (left back).Quote:
